Yorkshire Getaways

Yorkshire is the largest of the 39 historic counties of England. A long history of administrative fiddling has complicated outlining what correctly is Yorkshire, with parts of the traditional ridings now being part of North East England (e.g. nearby Middlesbrough). Nevertheless, the region has a strong cultural identity and offers visitors a wonderful selection of thriving urban centres, important historic towns and world famous countryside. Here is a selection of some excellent accommodation which includes Foxgloves Cottage in Gunnerside, Hutter Hill Barn in Kildwick, and Old Malt Kiln House in Leyburn.


This typical Dales cottage has panoramic views over Swaledale and is the perfect base for touring the area. Foxgloves is an excellent character cottage with the retenting exposed beams, polished floorboards and subtle paneling to the bedroom. The lounge welcomes you with a multi fuel stove and a pretty balcony leads from the kitchen. This charming holiday home is located on the edge of the endearing village of Gunnerside which is 6 miles west of Reeth, ensuring a perfect location for those who enjoy the outdoors and providing an abundance of footpath walks starting from the front door.


In a perfect, tranquil location this is the ideal place for lovers of the countryside. There are vast open views towards the Dales in this lovely corner of Yorkshire. This large cottage is approached by a well maintained farm track. The cottage has been beautifully maintained farm track. The cottage has been lovingly maintained and benefits from magnificent oak beams, and exposed stonework. Walkers and cyclists will enjoy the idyllic location with walks directly from the doorstep, rambles and cycle rides across heather clad moors above Wharfedale, or meanders beside the Leeds-Liverpool Canal.


This idyllic location in the rural Wensleydale hamlet of Barden, some 3 miles from the bustling market town of Leyburn. It is directly opposite a working farm and is surrounded by meadows where horses graze and lambs frolic in the sunshine. Old Malt Kiln promises to be the perfect getaway for those looking for peace and tranquility, with excellent footpath walks direct from the door. Wensleydale and the surrounding areas provide an excellent base for the great outdoors, with plenty of wonderful walking and cycling opportunities.
